Mark Crooks Quartet

If you like Scott Hamilton, Zoot Sims or Lester Young, you will love Mark's playing. Mark Crooks has played in all of London's top jazz venues and at jazz festivals up and down the country, including a week opposite the Mingus Big Band at Ronnie Scott's.

He regularly plays with the John Wilson Orchestra and Back To Basie, and was invited to be the feature clarinettist with an otherwise all-American band at the Lincoln Centre in New York. A newcomer to the British jazz scene, pianist Gabriel Latchin is fast becoming recognised as one of the country's leading accompanists.

His hard-swinging, adventurous approach often draws comparisons to his many influences, including Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans and Phineas Newborn.
